Other News
ZION's 1989 "Thunder From The Mountain" LP has been totally Re-Mixed and Remastered from the original 24 Track 2" tapes. This required having the original tape reels conditioned by a process called "baking". This conditioning enabled the tapes to once again render original sound quality and flexibility to withstand being loaded onto a 24 track tape machine to be further manipulated across the tape heads.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release also includes a "Newly Tracked" song titled: "The Big Fall". This song was originally suppose to be recorded and included on the 1989 "Thunder From The Mountain" release, but due to budget and time constraints, this song was only ever heard on the preceding EP "Thunder From The Mount" or ZION's live shows.
---------------------------------------
It was discussed among the band members and Image Records Co-Founder Dorn Reppert (who oversaw the project) to include this song on the project. "The Big Fall" was tracked spring of 2018 to make the album complete as it was originally meant to be.

About ZION-the Band
One of a handful of the early 'white metal' bands that helped lay a foundation for bands like Stryper and the hundreds of bands that followed thereafter. Zion had several top ten hits from their debut album 'Thunder From The Mountain' on Image Records (the most of any band of that time)
Comming Soon ZION The Band History!
We are currently putting together more history from the band. Many events that you may not know occurred. Did you know the band wrote songs for a second album to be released through Image Records. We are (at this time), listening to the writing sessions all tracked to 4 Track Tape. If salvageable, Recordings of that albaum may be available to listen to.
